This is not extremely clear. Uluru and the nearby Kata Tjuta rocks are ends of a sandstone bed that was pushed up through softer overlying soils. Beginning about 30,000 years ago, the desert sand dunes around these harder rocks began to be blown away, exposing and oxidizing the sandstone (the material is normally gray). This uncovering is an extremely slow process, as is the erosion of the sandstone itself. Depending upon climate conditions, Uluru could become less prominent as eroded material builds up in the land around the periphery.

Water erosion has created channels and caves that become more pronounced over time, creating the shadowed edges. The parallel ridges deepen because they represent softer layers of the rock that erode more quickly.

How can a metamorphic rock be changed into a sedimentary?

A metamorphic rock can be changed into a sedimentary rock through the process of weathering and erosion. This involves the breakdown of the existing rock into sediment particles, which are then transported and deposited in layers. Over time, these layers of sediment can become compacted and cemented together to form a new sedimentary rock.
